This Show Is Headed Down The Primrose Way To The Everlasting Bonfire

Cameras are rolling on Welcome Back, Carter starring Holly Dobbs. Nothing says reality show high school English like some Shakespeare and some spontaneous sports related fist raising. C’mon idiots, get those fists up there, as if you don’t care, pray thee, odds bodkins, etc.

“How does that grab you?” is an expression I have not heard for years. I recall it used to be popular in the 1960’s, Nancy Sinatra’s song released in 1966 “How Does That Grab You, Darlin?”,…. Next up is some dude from New England saying another 1960’s expression–“that’s a pissah!!”….

Is this still supposed to be the first day of class? Or at least the first week? Because they’re already pretty deep into Act IV. At this rate, the students will be doing good to remember titles by the midterm exam, let alone any characters or plots.

Holly sure is cool with the kids. I wonder if she’ll be getting stoned with the kids after the bonfire like the Donald Sutherland character in Animal House. She’ll probably have to tell the OL brothers not to drool too much on the joint. I hope they go skitzo.
